Damn I switched from Lead Foot to Carbonized Grey because I was told Lead Foot was on backorder and could take a while to come in.

But ironically if I had waited for Lead Foot, my build date might have been in May and I might have actually gotten my truck faster.
My Leadfoot rolled off the line on the April 28th with no delay (except for chips). I think that was a pretty short constraint. I don't think it held me up at all.

You mean screw Ford for putting them through before us. Not the customers fault. You should write a strongly worded letter...
Yep, don't be mad at me for ordering a truck receiving it. I was fully prepared to be waiting until early August when I ordered, I was braced for the worst but apparently got very lucky with my timing. The way Ford handled the whole mess with incomplete trucks and then not getting them shipped is an unmitigated disaster. I don't blame you guys that have been waiting one bit for being pissed - I'd absolutely be one of the vocal ones if I were in the same position.

Better way of saying it yes. You understand the frustration obviously.

Guess that means my $2500 PCO that expires July 7 is going to just be an expensive bookmark then.... ha
My dealer took the serial number off of my PCO and entered into his system with my order and it locked it in even though it expired the end of March. It is still active and will be applied once my order arrives.

Thanks. I will try this out.

Yes you guys have reason for hope. I've checked a few dealerships now, over the last two weeks a bunch of trucks with March BLEND dates were delivered. All the deliveries I'm seeing were either produced in late March or late May.
I was the build/blend week before your 03-08-21 (ordered Nov-20) and was stuck waiting on parts. Mine showed up at the dealer 3 weeks ago after chips came in, so it looks like they are processing them as they receive chip shipments but it could also be the 3 cases I opened with Ford and the 2 traces my dealer put on the truck.

I think it is the latter, I also did the same, 3 cases with Customer Care then another with the Executive Office. After my last contact with them, mine kicked loose two days later. My dealer also did at least one trace as I called every week on Tuesday.

I sent an email today some execs today (thanks for you list). How did you open three cases through customer care. I've gone through twitter before.

I pressed them when I called Customer Care. "They said" they were opening a case each time I called so I assumed they did. I note date, time, and who I spoke to each time and noted that in my E-mails to the Executive Offices. I've been down this road before, both giving and receiving.
